Serious Accidents Plague Maryland Roads

The Baltimore Sun reports on what was a dramatic Friday evening on Baltimore roads, when two people died and many others were left injured in three separate vehicle accidents. All three accidents took place on Route 152, and two took place in the same location. According to the report, the second accident took place while a driver was turning around at the scene of the first accident.

Early on Friday evening, a station wagon was involved in an accident with a tow truck when the station wagon slowed to make a left turn. The tow truck clipped the rear of the station wagon and then veered into oncoming traffic. It was hit head-on by another vehicle, the driver of which was declared dead on the scene.

The driver of the station wagon was transported to the hospital with serious injuries, and charges are pending against the driver of the tow truck.

It was while police were investigating this incident that the second accident occurred. A man who was attempting to avoid the road closure made a U turn in front of a motorcycle. The motorcyclist was ejected from the bike and later died from his injuries.

Earlier in the evening, emergency services responded to another accident involving a motorcyclist, which resulted in serious injuries.
